This is fantastic if you only take a 64 GB of photos every half a year 
and use the time in between for the upload :-)

It is also fantastic if you don't care, that at least dropbox has access 
to your files.

Then it's great that your backup lasts exactly as long as dropbox lasts 
- it wouldn't be the first such service that disappears.

Even if upload times would increase by 100, I would never, never, never 
leave my files somewhere that is completely out of my control.

Dropbox and the like for sure is cool to share some MB of files or for a 
short time storage of smaller amounts of data. But it is not all all 
suitable for a save backup.
